My Not So Normal Life and A Few Other Things.

*I was lucky enough to receive the Clairol Nice and Easy Root Touch up to review from Influenster complimentary. This is my honest opinion on how this product worked for me*(or any family members) I received the shade #5 medium brown and as you all know my hair is blonde.  So this wasn't something I could use. Jayedyn has been wanting to get rid of the blonde in her hair for a while so I thought let's try it. *After a 24 HR.  patch test, no reactions we dove right in. * The box contained very simple to use instructions, a small mixing bowl, the products and a brush for application and gloves. This product was very easy to apply and didn't make a mess all over my bathroom. You put the dye in the roots to cover up. We decided to take it down her hair a bit more.  The applicator brush was awesome and made it easy ,the product stayed put and didn't drip down her hair. After the time was up we were amazed at how much this  actually took out the ...

Summer is officially here and boy is it warming up in Utah .  Hot as He**  (usually in the upper 90's- 100's) The weather has been the best summer weather at times, but I still can't get out and enjoy it because of my Lupus .  I step out in the sun and after a few minutes (literally) I am sick to my stomach and fatigue sets in. Then it's back in bed and I am unable to do anything more for the day. It Sucks!  I am trying to get out as much as I can in the evening but sometimes it is still too hot.  Camden & Mayson have been enjoying the pool. While Jayedyn and Logan are home bodies.  I don't blame them our house has A/C It's way too hot outside. Any Who that's not what this blog post is about.  I t's time for another Ipsy Bag Review. I  am finally caught up and anticipating the July bag. So let's get into this bag  June's theme       Volume Up  The bag is pretty cute it's...

Lupus has left me unable to walk, sit for to long, work, care for my family and be myself.  So many people say that "Lupus doesn't have them".  I wonder what it is that has me then ?  Depression, Fear, Self Loathing, Loss of Faith and NO Positivity. Are all things I fear have & slowly make the chasm in my heart bigger.  This disease sucks the positivity right out of me and I try so hard to hold it in and be positive and strong. I am just so angry sometimes..   The hardest part of this disease is watching my husband who has sacrificed so much to become a single parent of 5 kids. By this I mean he handles everything . It kills me to watch the stress eat him alive.  Today at the grocery store I was unable to stand up and collapsed right in the middle of the store. The look on his face was enough to break my heart in 2. I know I am getting worse ,when you wake up feeling worthless and useless can't move it all sucks. Positivity is key so...

It's the start of summer and this month's Ipsy Bag Showed that for sure. The bag is a see through water resistant material with Ice cream cones and Popsicle all over , The zipper is a bit tricky to work. *That i would say is my only flaw in the bag . Theme - Ipsy Summer Friday Let's dive right in to the products received  in my bag  1st product - was a sample of a charcoal mask  from the brand -Global Beauty Charcoal is great for getting deep into your pores and removing all the junk and gunk .  I only use these mask when i feel like my face needs a good scrub or if acne shows  it's ugly head ( I have been blessed in this dept) I have not used this yet so i can't review it sorry. 2nd product is Full size Lipstick  from the brand Mellow in the shade- Posh  This is a creamy matte formula it's moisturizing to the lips and I find it doesn't make them dry after use . It has Vitamin E which is what helps keep thing...
